    Post Headers HP Gain...

    I was looking into buying some DC Headers, I found a car that was crashed with a set that are still in great shape, maybe not even a year of use. Just wondering what power gains can be made over the stock exhust. I also already have a CAI.

    alone they will just sound louder.. maybe 1 hp.. coupled with a hi flo cat and free flo exhaust it will add alot more..

    I don't like quoting HP numbers without a dyno to back them up. Instead I say this. Adding DC Sports headers to my car was worth every single penny I paid for them. I got a very noticeable increase in power. Not only that I got BETTER power. Instead of the power band dying out at 5700rpms, I now had power right up to redline. Of course then I then shifted, I was right smack into my peak powerband and the whole process repeated. Without question, if you want more power, they are worth it.
    Don't ponder, buy buy buy. And I went into it, being rather suspicious, but not afterwords
